Plans for a state-of-the-art new fire station for Urlingford are set to go on display for public consultation over the coming weeks.
The proposed new site is adjacent to Urlingford Garda Station and across the road from the existing station. At the February meeting of Kilkenny County Council, Chief Fire Officer John Collins outlined the plans to develop the new fire station.
The new design is to incorporate a two-bay station with a training yard, lecture room and staff facilities, specific training installations include a drill tower, an underground water tank and a breathing apparatus compressor room. The project received €1.7 million funding as part of the national investment plan.
